said it's not a it's not a cheap event to put on and our sponsors helpers we did set up a PayPal thing where we serve a PayPal so if anybody feels the urge to donate a small amount to us to - last time I looked it was just you [Applause] I think it was a pound before PayPal took that go well anyway ever so anyway funny but anyone feels inclined go to the website you can have a look we would appreciate that it will go towards funding next year's event so thank you a few more thanks major thanks to the speakers I mentioned how awesome the talks were and they've really were and these guys some we've got some kind of

getting the people are prepared to fly in so that's that's great we'd like to thank the volunteers so anybody who's wearing a yellow t-shirt I did see some guy who in a yellow t-shirt who was just a PUD so here he's probably going a lot hustle but anyway everyone except him we thank all them the volunteers [Applause]

slightly self-indulgent I'm going to thank the organizers so there's dirt there's light there's Rick that's gap and there's dom these are the guys who have who've worked Matt oh yeah you might might be when he gets back and can I just do a special thanks this really wouldn't happen without Mike Marco here he's not even actually a monkey you knees from Yorkshire but so so mark is the driving force behind this in all honesty wouldn't happen without mark so special super thanks tomorrow [Applause] and he's fine his drinks like well we've got the cab the cards behind the bar for a little while so so so yeah thanks thanks to everyone who's out to organize

it there is the option to get involved as well so me and Lloyd and Matt and started it these guys have got involved this year some people have helped to the previous year's um we're open to we're open to volunteers who are prepared to put a bit of time in a bit of commitment and you don't need to be you don't need to be a cybersecurity expert or anything like that you know we've got marketing uh people who could do marketing people who've just well-connected people who are good at finance and and all these kind of things you know we have to run we have to submit accounts and we have to create marketing material and we have

monkey over the next few days it's your way of influencing what we do so and what we've done and so ability to make suggestions and give us a direction you think it should should go in failing that we're all be in the pulpit and you can chew our ears off and tell us what we're doing wrong what we've done right and how we can make it better so with that I think we're done we would like to crowdsource tidying up the place so if you've got a cup or a mug or something like that that we can throw away we've been back there as many as we can get to the pub quicker on everyone else over

the park to a place called the footage six o'clock and the borrowed
